The lineup of Oscar nominees for best picture this year offers a mix of old and new, of small personal films and box-office blockbusters.
With big breakthroughs for superheroes and streaming services, along with old-fashioned issue-oriented dramas, costume fare and the latest version of the oft-remade “A Star is Born,” there likely something for everyone among the eight nominees.
If you want to see where your favorite stacks up among the contenders, here’s where you can watch them all:
“Black Panther”
The Marvel superhero — about the king of the fictional African kingdom of Wakanda, T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), whose rule is challenged by a figure from the past (Michael B. Jordan) — achieved its own kind of royalty, becoming the first film from that genre superhero movie to earn a best picture nomination. It ranks as the third highest-grossing movie of all time at the domestic box office, behind only “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and “Avatar.”
